INGREDIENTS:
for one serving
3 - 5 leaves of lettuce or leafy green*
handful of celery or cucumber
slice of lemon with peel
1 Tbsp flax seed (optional)
1.5 to 2 cups water
PROCESS:
05 minutes
Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and bend for fifteen seconds; pause bend again for fifteen to thirty seconds. Don't over mix. The drink will have a frothy bite and is astonishingly envigorating despite being very simple!!
*The type of lettuce or green you choose will effect the flavor profile of this drink. All greens are valuable and there is no shame in using romaine or even iceburg, if that is what you have, or what you can stomache. Romaine will give you an excellent boost of vitamin A, and iceburg vitamin K. If you opt for greens like Kale, Chard, Turnip greens, or Mustard greens, please know that the drink will be increasingly bitter. Kale will give you a high source of vitamin E, and the others will provide good sources other vitamins and minerals. It's fine to mix greens in this drink, but the recipe is meant to be simple overall.
